Jumpstart 2018

January 29, 2018

Langston Hughes Middle School is proud to invite rising 7th grade students to Jumpstart Camp! This is an exciting opportunity for all students to become familiar with middle school before the school year begins. Students will meet peers from the neighborhood elementary schools. This will be a great time to meet new people, make new friends, and get a JUMPSTART on the 2018-2019 school year!

The camp will be offered for one week this summer: Monday, July 23 to Thursday, July 26 from 7:30am to 11:30am (times are subject to change slightly due to transportation). Camp sessions will be facilitated by teachers and other school staff. Current and former Hughes students will also be on hand to provide support, answer questions, and share their experiences.

Bus transportation will be available. Students will rotate through various classrooms and participate in lessons and activities on the following topics:

Team Building- fun activities to help students get acquainted with each other

Academic Skill building – study skills, activities related to the InternationalBaccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP)
